Hezbollah’s “Elite Marksmen” Ambush Zionist Forces, Hunt 6 Merkavas Anew

Hezbollah’s Military Media announced in a statement early on Thursday that Islamic Resistance fighters ambushed Israeli forces as they attempted to advance in the southern border town of Taybe.

“For the third time in a week, the Israeli enemy army attempted another advance in the town of Taybeh towards the Baydar Al-Faqa’ani area north of the town. After spotting the advancing enemy force, Islamic Resistance fighters ambushed them, targeting them with guided missiles that destroyed one of the tanks,” the statement read.

“The enemy then attempted to continue its advance towards the Abu Makna area in Deir Siryan, but the elite marksmen again targeted them with guided missiles, scoring direct hits and destroying five Merkava tanks. Enemy soldiers were seen fleeing the area of ​​engagement,” Hezbollah’s statement added.

It noted that the Israeli forces subsequently brought in several helicopters to evacuate the casualties under heavy fire and smoke cover.

“The fighters then targeted the evacuation area with rocket barrages and artillery shells,” the statement concluded.

Our correspondent in south Lebanon Ali Shoeib announced that the number of destroyed Merkavas in south Lebanon reached 27 since the war started on March 2.

The term “elite marksmen” was notably invoked by former Hezbollah Secretary General Martyr Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah in warning against any Israeli invasion of Lebanon, emphasizing that highly trained fighters stand ready to precisely target advancing israeli enemy forces and their vehicles.
